Night by Elie Wiesel is an autobiography about WWII and the Holocaust.

It was originally written in Yiddish, then a shorter version in French then translated to English.

A Man Called Ove by Frederick Backman has been getting a lot of acclaim and some excellent reviews. It was translated from Swedish, I think. I might look that one up.

I just completed Our Holocaust. It's a fact-based novel in which the son of Holocaust survivors documents the experiences of his family and neighbors. It was originally written in Hebrew, and translated by Jessica Cohen.

I find that book to be a good account of the Holocaust. I am reading the 2nd book of that trilogy

Tiffani - me too! I just finished reading Night for the second time. I'm going to start Dawn tonight.

[Tiffanie]

I feel like that Dawn is not as good as Night. I mean it doesn't give in deepth how the camps were, I was a bit disappointed. But I guess it is from another prospective point of view.

I read The Dinner for this one

[Madeline]

I'm going to read The Little Prince for this one, originally written in French. As a bonus it's a little shorter as well.
